Secrets Discovered

Part 1

Early the next morning, Doc Hudson rolled out of his garage to found Sam was already up and parked at Flo's. She was chatting with Luna and Sheriff. He watched as the three cars busted into laugher. He just smiled. They were talking until a red truck comes pulling in. When Sam saw who it was, she unhooked herself from the gas pump and went straight to that truck.

"Buddy, what are you doing here?" she asked as he drove up to the stall next to hers and hooked himself to the gas pump.

"I got a call from Tex a few days ago telling me about your accident with your trailer, so I came rushing over here to see how you are doing, little sister." He said looking at her with his big brown eyes.

"I'm doing fine, Buddy, but what about Lucy and the kids?" she said puzzled in why he didn't came with the rest of the family.

"Lucy decided to stay home with the kids while I came here to see you." He said looking around from where he's parked.

"And by the way, Congratulations on your first race." He said taking his eyes back to her.

"Thanks Buddy, I couldn't have done it without the help from my team." She said.

When Buddy saw Doc and then looked at his sister, he couldn't believe how much the older car and his sister looked a lot alike. His guy could easily pass off as Sam's father. Then a thought came to his mind.

"Maybe this guy is her father by some chance, maybe just maybe"

Buddy thought to himself. He was the only one now who knew the truth of Sam. Their parents decided not tell her the truth and raised her as their own, he knew they had their selfness reasons why not to tell her and he stands with them until now. Sam was old enough and mature enough to know the truth and it's about time he told her.

Buddy also knew if he told her the truth it could possible hurt her emotionally but if this Doc Hudson fella might be possible be her biological dad then maybe it's time to reunite them. Sam was old enough to know the whole truth. It was about time to tell her, but he didn't want to tell her in front of all these people. He had to get her to a quiet place.

"Sam, I need to talk to you in private." He said in a serious tone. Sam looked at her big brother was a surprised expression on her face. Buddy never used his serious tone unless it's really serious.

"Fine, I know this spot we can go and be alone." She said then she said her good byes and unhooked herself again from the gas pump and both cars left in a bit of a hurry. Doc watched them go driving up to the courthouse and then watched them turned right and they were gone.

After finishing up filling up and his can of oil, Doc slowly drove back to his garage. Sally noticed that something was going on with Doc and she went and followed him seeing if he needed to talk.

When she got to his garage, the doors were opened. And she slowly entered; she saw Doc just parked there looking at some photos. He didn't look up when he heard tire tracks coming in.

"Leave me alone, Lightning, it's not a good time." He said while staring at a photograph.

"Do you need to talk, Doc? Said a familiar female voice. Doc looked up and surprising there parked in his garage was Sally not Lightning.

"Sally, what are you doing here?" he asked puzzled to see the Porsche parked there.

"You look like you needed to talk so here I am.' She said as she looks straight at him with a smile on her face.

Doc thought to himself. Then he put the photograph down and went to close both doors.

"What I about to tell you doesn't leave this garage, Sally." he said with a stern voice.

"I won't tell nobody, I promise." She said watching him as he drove back and picked up the photo he had putted down a few moments ago.

After a few seconds of staring at the photo, he handed it to her. She stared down at the photograph and was surprise to see what it was.

"Doc, I didn't know you have a family." She said surprise as she slowly looked up at the Hudson Hornet.

"I did have a family many many years ago, but now I don't".

"What happened to them?" she said suspecting that something horrible must have happened to them.

"It happened on my last race in 54" he said staring at the photograph of his crash on the wall.

"That's the day, you have gotten into the horrible crash" said Sally remembering what Lighting told her about Doc's racing career.

"My wife, Elizabeth, and our one year old daughter, Chloe was heading towards the stadium to surprise me."

"And then what, Doc?"

"The accident took place around as the same time of my accident"

Sally couldn't believe in what she was hearing. She froze for a few moments then continued to speak.

"What happened to your wife and daughter?"

"That accident immediately killed my wife." Said Doc now with tears coming down his eyes and onto his hood.

"What happened to Chloe?"

"She just disappeared, after years of searching, the police and I started to presumed that she was killed."

"Oh my ford" she said with tears coming down on her own hood.

"That's horrible, Doc, I'm sorry."

"You know what happened after that,"

"You came here, settled down and became the town's doctor and judge."

"But why are you remembering those memories now?"

"It's that rookie racer, Sam, that brought my memories back."

'But why?"

Sally thought for a few seconds and then remembers that Sam did look an awful a lot like him.

"Is Sam your long lost daughter? Is she Chloe?

"I don't know, Sally"

"Maybe she is, Doc"

Doc looked at Sally

"I don't know, but what if she's not, what if she doesn't remember?"

"She most likely is, she definitely looks lot like you, Doc"

Doc gives her a small smile.

"I'll talk to her before we leave for the race in a few days."
